The party had raised concerns about its difficulty getting a venue for its national convention, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government of sabotaging its efforts.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has secured a new venue to hold its national convention after the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) authorities allegedly denied it the use of Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, both in Abuja, for the event.
Mr Ologondiyan said the party has not received any response from the FCT on its request to use either the Eagle Square or the Moshood Abiola National Stadium for the convention.

Social media users had accused the Transcorp Hilton Hotel of denying the ADC access to use its venue for the convention at the prompting of the APC-led government. The hotel denied it, describing it as “inaccurate, malicious, and entirely fabricated”.
Transcorp Hilton explained that no booking was made with the hotel at any point and that no slot was available to accommodate the request when it was enquired.
“An inquiry was made on Easter Monday, but there was no availability to accommodate the request. Consequently, no booking was made at any point. We therefore reaffirm that there was no cancellation, contrary to what is being purported. The narrative currently being circulated is inaccurate, malicious, and entirely fabricated. We urge the public to disregard this false information,” the hotel said.
